2nd Prenatal Appointment Tomorrow!

It's almost here! My 2nd prenatal appointment, which is tomorrow at 3:00pm. Wow, it's been soooooo long since I last went to the doctors. Other than the follow up email I sent my doctor after my first appointment (where he told me not to have s.e.x - yeah right), I haven't spoken to or even called my doctor's office. I guess, with Dr. Google and all of my pregnancy boards and the WTE book, I just do not feel the need to. That's a good thing, I think.

I dont know what quite to expect tomorrow. I believe that at my last appointment, I was told this appointment was to be a physical and work up on my medical history and that I will be seeing a nurse practitioner instead of my OB. I've seen this NP before, and I love her, but I have never seen her for this type of thing. I dont think I'll be getting an ultra sound, but I'm hoping that she'll be able to tell me during my exam if all feels right for how far along I am (11 weeks and 1 day!!). At this appointment, I also believe I'll probably receive my next appointment date which will be with Dr. M and will probably involve another ultra sound. Yippee!

I'm still nervous for the appointment tomorrow. Not quite as nervous as I was for my last appointment though....I guess because I just believe that everything is going alright in there. I haven't had any cause for worry (other than my prior MC history) and although, I know just because you have no pain or bleeding doesn't mean everything is A-OK (as was the case with my last MC when I had to have a D&C), I'm just standing on faith that we found the problem that was causing the MCs, fixed it and everything is going smoothly. I prayed to the Lord, and He has answered my prayers....simple as that. Right?!

Another biggie is that I'll be heading to this appointment alone, meaning sans the DH. He'll be working. He's going to try to get off to come with, but if he's on a call, or they're busy doing something, he may not make it. There better not be any bad news (which OFCOURSE THERE WONT BE) because he's my rock and without my rock I'll be a mess. (Nah I wont be, but still, I want DH to be there for both good and bad).

Well, in a little over 30 hours, I'll be at the doctor's office, receiving another perfect report!!! (See, that's me thinking positively).

Oh - on the symptom front - the newest symptoms I've had over the trip and since we returned are gas (talk about fart central...you know, the silent but violent kind....Lord!), constipation, diarrhea (probably mostly due to the bad eating habits I had while on vacation), headaches (they're gone for now and were only mild), bloat (I have a teeny tiny belly, but look more like I'm overeating -which I probably am- rather than carrying a baby. New belly pic to come this weekend). I had some nausea on vacation, but its pretty much gone. I still have the frequent peeing and sore BBs which were and likely will be my constant companion for a while. And the best news of all - I have grown a bra cup size!!! whoooooooooooo! I'm loving that. AND I feel as if I may have to go up another!!!!
